Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously butter a 3-quart Bundt pan; dust the pan with flour, shaking out any excess.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the flour with 2 cups of the flaked coconut, the pineapple, and walnuts; set aside.
• Whisk together the remaining 2 1/2 cups flour, the baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla and crème de cacao. Alternately stir in batches of the flour and 1 cup of the coconut milk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Fold in the coconut-pineapple-nut mixture. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and use a rubber spatula to smooth the top.
• Bake until the top is golden brown and a tester inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan for 5 minutes. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack; cool completely.
• While the cake cools, place the remaining cup of flaked coconut on a baking sheet, and toast in the oven for 5 to 6 minutes, until golden brown.
• To make the glaze, whisk the confectioners' sugar, pine-apple juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons coconut milk in a medium bowl to blend. Spoon the glaze over the cooled cake, then garnish with toasted flaked coconut. Allow the glaze to set for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
• Beat 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1 cup butter, eggs, and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer until well blended. Beat on high speed, scraping the bowl occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Sift flour and baking powder together in a separate small bowl. Combine milk and 1/3 cup rum in another bowl. Add liquids and flour mixture to sugar mixture alternately, blending well after each addition. Fold in pineapple and coconut gently. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cake begins to pull from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven, invert onto a plate, and cool for 10 minutes. Poke holes on the top of the cake using a wooden skewer.
• While cake cools, combine 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan for glaze. Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to boil, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup rum.
• Pour 1/2 of glaze in the bottom of the Bundt® pan, carefully reinvert the cake back into the pan on top of the glaze. Drizzle remaining glaze onto the bottom of the cake; let sit for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb glaze. Invert cake onto a cake platter.
